The network writes, “The quiet town of Delmar, New York, was considered anything but dangerous…until 21-year-old Chris Porco was accused of brutally murdering his father Peter and disfiguring his mother Joan in a savage axe attack. …Prosecutors believed that beneath Chris’ picture-perfect façade was a devious and cunning sociopath who would stop at nothing to keep his lies hidden.”

In December, my colleague Robert Gavin wrote about how the portrayl of Porco as, in Lifetime’s words, a “beloved, handsome college student … who was every girl’s dream in the small town of Delmar, New York,” left many scratching their heads.

“I definitely wouldn’t describe (Porco) as a Romeo,” one law enforcement official very familiar with the Porco case told Gavin.
